The instruction in Physiology so
successfully inaugurated last year in
all grades, will be vigorously pushed
forward by the aid OF the Skeleton,
Models and Microscopy, and sup
plemented by lectures and expert
ments.
Lectures ON Political Economy by
o. w. Rowland, on Physiology by
DR.. c. ;. Maynard, will greatly add
to the effectiveness Of the regular
school work.
With this array we feel fully war
ranted in claiming that no other
school in this region offers such in
ducements to those fitting them
selves for teaching or for general
business.

TREATMENT OF MARES u,-
COLTS,

Farmers busy with their orou;.
and ripening crops, from Nav ing
December, are apt to turn the mor
and colts off to shift for themspIro%'
Many mares fail to give enonrh
milk to properly nourish the fnSsI
and it becomes stunted and maL"'
al inferior animal, understood fos
any useful purpose and it is q scrnh
of little value. This may generally,
be avoided by liberal feedino Of ~,
dam and early teaching the foaI to
eat with the dam. If the box Wv
trough in which the mare is fed Ha
on the ground, or set so low tbot
the colt can eat with her. if will
soon learn to share the oats and
barn with it's dam, and there is No
better food for each. 1t furnishes
with grass, the elements for mill,
for bones and fiber, far better than
corn or food richer in starch. If tho
dam is a very poor sucker, as MANY
mares are, the colt will soon learn
to drink cows milk, which will
under such conditions, be the best
food for it. Skim milk NAV be-
given, but it should be supplemented
with flax-seed jelly or scalded OIL
cake meal. A tablespoonful night
and morning Of the meal will be
sufficient to begin with. 1t may be
increased gradually, until by the
time the colt is,six months old it
will be the better for a pint Of
meal with its milk and grass. The
large breeds of colts will need more,
and will bear two pints a day. A
better plan, however, is to teach
them to eat with the dam, also, and
furnish the colts bruised oats and
bran in addition. Oats and wheat
bran supply the elements for form
ing bone and fiber, and keep the
bowels in good condition. At this
age the colt will, on such feed, make
strong growth Of bone and muscle
rather than fat. The true idea of
raising colts is not to see how little
they can live on but how much
healthful growth they can be made
to make for the food consumed. All
young animals will pay more for the
food consumed than the older ones,
if growth and uniform development,
not fattening, is the object.-People's

TO DESTROY LICE ON CATTLE

A Clinton Mass, subscriber, asks.
"What is the best and surest means
of destroying lice on cattle? There
are several methods of destroying
lice on cattle which are safe and
sure. A thorough washing in soap
suds in which a little carbolic acid
is dissolved, the washing to be
repeated at the end of eight or ten
days to destroy lice that have been
Matched since the previous washing,
is both sure and safe. 1t would be
well if farmers would follow this
practice every Fall and Spring till
their premises and stock are entirely
cleansed from the vermin. This
treatment should not be given in
very cold weather but on a warm
sunny day, and the cattle rubbed
till they are comparatively dry. The
rubbing will! help work the soapy
water down to the skin. If only
one or two animals in a herd are
affected the wash can be applied in
Winter by taking extra pains to
IuU anu UldLhcG CIlc diiitlldlS I'LL UIy.
To keep the lice from increasing till
the weather becomes warm enough
to make thorough work sprinkle
air slaked lime into the hair, or rub
in a little oil on the places where
the lice are most abundant. as on
the neck and at the roots of the tail.
Snuff, sulphur, or any kind Of fine
dust, will keep lice in check. When
one raises his own stock it will pay
to clear the premises 50 they will
stay clean. Purchased animals
should be cleared from lice before
they are put in with a clean herd.
Farmers keeping bulls for neighbour
hood service r liable to get lice
into their OWL herds from the
cattle Of their neighbors. Eternal
vigilance seems to be the price of
clean cattle as we'll a cleanliness in
many other directions. A little
kerosene oil mixed with lard to be
rubbed on the cards used in carding
cattle will tend to keep cattle free
from .vermin. But care must be
observed and not use oils too freely
in cold weather.-Nem England

SWISS DAIRYING.

According to statistics lately pub
lished in Switzerland, there are
about 100000 head of cattle in
Switzerland, rather more than half
of which are cows. The total guam
tity of milk yielded in a year is 223,-
OOO, 900 gallons, the daily average
per COW being one and one-fourth
gallons; and the value Of this milk
estimated at about six-pence per
gallon, is about 95, 575, 900. One-half
Of this milk is used for making 49,
600 tons of cheese, and of this guam
tity 50 per cent is made with skim
milk. The cream taken from the
latter goes to make $4,000 tons of
butter. The native consumption of
milk itself and the preparation of
condensed milk accounts for another
10000, 900 gallons. The remaining
Il per cent goes toward rearing the
300, 900 calves which are to be
found in Switzerland. There are
three factories for condensing milk
in that country.
